说到让步状语从句,我们先来了解一下,什么是让步状语从句。概念:让步状语从句是状语从句中的一种,其本身也是状语从句。一般翻译为“尽管……”或“即使……”,就是我们日常生活中用的“退一步说…”的感觉。当然前提是在一定的限制性条件或者情境才可以发生的语法结构。
现在来看一下日常英语运用之中,都有哪些情况会用到让步状语从句,同时有哪些词语可以作为引导让步状语从句的标志。
标志1、though, although
注意: 当有though, although时,后面的从句不能有but,但是though和yet可连用
Although it's raining, they are still working in the field.虽然在下雨,但他们仍在地里干活。
He is very old, but he still works very hard.虽然他很老,但仍然努力地工作。
Though the sore be healed, yet a scar may remain.伤口虽愈合,但伤疤留下了。 (谚语)
标志2、as, though引导的倒装句
as / though引导的让步从句必须表语或状语提前(形容词、副词、分词、实义动词提前)。
Child as /though he was, he knew what was the right thing to do.= Though he was a small child, he knew what was the right thing to do.
注意:a.句首名词不能带任何冠词。

b.句首是实义动词,其他助动词放在主语后。如果实义动词有宾语和状语,随实义动词一起放在主语之前。
Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily. = Though he tries hard, he never seems… 虽然他尽了努力,但他的工作总做的不尽人意。
标志3、ever if, even though.即使······
We'll make a trip even though the weather is bad.即使天气很糟糕,我们还是会进行旅途
标志4、whether…or-不管……都
Whether you believe it or not, it is true. 不论你相不相信,它都是真的
标志5、"no matter +疑问词"或"疑问词+后缀ever"这一类··········
No matter what happened, he would not mind.不论发生什么,他都不会介意
= Whatever happened, he would not mind.(与上同义)
注意,这里no matter后面无论接什么疑问动词,都可以成立,
例如 替换:no matter what = whatever
no matter who = whoever
no matter when = whenever
no matter where = wherever
no matter which = whichever
no matter how = however
同时要注意:no matter不能引导主语从句和宾语从句。
Whatever you say is of no use now. 你现在说什么也没用了。(Whatever you say是主语从句)
Prisoners have to eat whatever they're given.囚犯们只能给什么吃什么。
标志6、however用作副词, 不可连接句子 。 但可置于第二句的句首、句末或句中。 要特别注意标点的使用。
Alice is a good student.However, she has one shortcoming.爱丽丝是一个很好的学生,但她仍有缺点。
在各类型的条件状语从句之中,要数让步条件状语从句的语法结构最为简单,同时语义为容易理解。希望大家在这次的解析当中,汲取有益元素并学会灵活运用。
